Leu Gardens

If you don't like ants, don't go to Leu Gardens near Orlando, Florida. There's a whole ant trail of them. But no ant hills. Florida is too flat. Leu Gardens is located near Orlando, Florida. A nice floral diversion from the fakery of the theme parks.

Don't get webbed either.

The historic Leu House and museum.

Four Florida families lived here. Including the silent screen star Helen Garder. I absolutely love touring old mansions. Always have. Someday I'll get to tour Biltmore. The ultimate American mansion.

My favorite part of Leu Gardens was the giant spiders hovering over the trail. The only thing missing was an electromagnetic ray of lightening like in War of the Worlds.

As a matter of fact, I don't like ants,especially not at home but I like it that I have an instant solution . I pour a glass of water over them. I don't mind ants in the park, though.

I love old mansions too, preferably with all the originals - furniture, carpets, kitchenware, pictures, etc.. In Israel we don't have them as it ia a relatively young country, but I've seen some very interesting mansions abroad.

Hello!:) Lovely captures of the real wildlife in Leu Gardens, and the sculptures are fantastic,... lovely old house too! I'm sure you enjoyed your day out in such a beautiful location. Thanks for sharing.:)
